The verdict

Freedom Metals runs at 228% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Machine shops workplace, earning a grade F.

Freedom Metals: 7.5 TCR = 228% of Machine shops BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Freedom Metals safety composite

Freedom Metals scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 10%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

1,821 Machine shops establishments

Safer than 15% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.5.

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Wisconsin alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #115 safest of 146 Machine shops employers in Wisconsin.

Freedom Metals (19 employees, TCR 7.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 48 employees and a TCR of 3.5

Freedom Metals has fewer employees than the Machine shops median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
